Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment technology, specifically to a water-absorbing cup for heating breathing tubing. Background Technology
[0002] Condensation is a common problem with breathing tubing in clinical use, and the resulting hazards are well-known. Currently, to address this issue, heated breathing tubing is often used instead of standard tubing. The heated tubing uses a built-in heating wire to heat the tubing, reducing the temperature difference between the inside and outside and preventing condensation. However, in actual use, the working environment of breathing tubing is affected by various factors, including external temperature, humidity, season, and altitude. Therefore, it cannot be completely guaranteed that condensation will not occur within the tubing. If condensation does occur, it is highly likely to flow into the humidification chamber, contaminating the liquid inside. When the heated and humidified bacteria-laden gas is inhaled into the lower respiratory tract, it can easily lead to respiratory infections.
[0003] When using heated breathing tubing, it is necessary to design a collection container to collect or absorb any condensation that may occur within the tubing. Currently, the most common collection container for condensation in breathing tubing is a condensation cup. However, this requires constant monitoring of the liquid level and timely emptying, which is not only inefficient but also poses a risk of tubing contamination and infection due to frequent disassembly. Unlike ordinary breathing tubing, heated breathing tubing has its own heating function, so the amount of condensation it may produce is small, thus eliminating the need for frequent disassembly of the condensation cup. Ordinary condensation cups are not very suitable for this purpose. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a water-absorbing cup for heating breathing tubing to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a water-absorbing cup for heating a breathing tube, including a cup lid, and further comprising:
[0006] The cup body is set on the inner wall of the cup lid. The inner wall of the cup lid is provided with a drainage cavity to prevent backflow of condensate in the water collection cup. The top of the cup body is provided with a humidifying cotton to prevent dust from entering the pipeline, and the humidifying cotton is connected to the cup lid. The inner wall of the cup body is provided with calcium lime.
[0007] Preferably, the inner wall of the cup is connected to a drain pipe, and the drain pipe has a Luer connector structure.
[0008] Preferably, a three-way tube is provided at the top of the drainage cavity, and the three-way tube is Y-shaped.
[0009] Preferably, the inner wall of the cup lid is provided with internal threads.
[0010] Preferably, the outer side of the cup body is provided with an external thread, and the internal thread and the external thread are threadedly connected.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] The core principle of this invention is to use calcium lime to completely absorb the condensate produced in the breathing tube, eliminating the need for frequent disassembly and emptying of ordinary water collection cups. Compared to ordinary water collection cups, the process of handling condensate is simpler and more convenient, and there is no need to constantly monitor the liquid level inside the cup, greatly reducing manpower requirements. Furthermore, the humidifying cotton inside the cup lid also has a moisture-absorbing function, while simultaneously preventing contact between the calcium lime and the tube, thus avoiding the entry of calcium lime dust into the tube. At the same time, the independent drainage channel effectively prevents the risk of condensate flowing back into the tube. The overall structure is relatively simple, easy to replace, highly efficient, and safe to use. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Please see Figures 1-4As shown, a water-absorbing cup for a heated breathing tube includes a cup lid 1, a cup body 2 on the inner wall of the cup lid 1, and a drainage channel 3 on the inner wall of the cup lid 1 to prevent backflow of condensate in the water-collecting cup. The sides of the cup lid 1 adopt a polygonal structure to increase friction and facilitate manual unscrewing of the cup body 2. The top of the cup body 2 is provided with a humidifying cotton 4 to prevent dust from entering the tube. After the condensate passes through the inner cavity of the drainage channel 3 to the humidifying cotton 4, and after the first round of absorption by the humidifying cotton 4, the overflowing condensate passes through the humidifying cotton 4 into the cup body 2 filled with calcium lime 5, and reacts with the calcium lime 5, and the water is further decomposed and absorbed. The humidifying cotton 4 is connected to the cup lid 1, and the inner wall of the cup body 2 is provided with calcium lime 5.
[0020] The inner wall of the cup body 2 is connected to the drain pipe 6, and the drain pipe 6 is a Luer connector structure. When in use, the drain chamber can be blocked by connecting the Luer connector with the one-way valve. The one-way valve is in the closed state. When the liquid flow in the cup is overloaded, the drain pipe can be connected to the one-way valve to drain the calcium lime 5 in the cup through the drain pipe 6. The one-way valve is in the open state.
[0021] The top of the drainage cavity 3 is provided with a three-way tube 7, and the three-way tube 7 is Y-shaped; by providing the drainage cavity 3, it is easy to connect with the three-way tube 7.
[0022] The inner wall of the cup lid 1 is provided with an internal thread 8; the outer side of the cup body 2 is provided with an external thread 9, and the internal thread 8 and the external thread 9 are threadedly connected; by using the internal thread 8 and the external thread 9 together, the connection between the cup body 2 and the cup lid 1 can be facilitated.
[0023] Working Principle: In the design of the respiratory system, handling condensate generated within the breathing tubing is a crucial step to ensure the system's proper functioning and patient safety. This process cleverly utilizes a combination of a Y-shaped three-way connector 7, a drainage channel 3, humidifying cotton 4, and a cup 2 containing calcium lime 5 to achieve effective treatment and reuse of condensate. Specifically, when condensate forms within the breathing tubing, this moisture is first guided through the Y-shaped three-way connector 7. The design of the Y-shaped three-way connector 7 allows the condensate to flow smoothly into the inner cavity of the drainage channel 3. The drainage channel 3 acts as a transition area, ensuring a stable flow of condensate to the next processing stage, namely the humidifying cotton 4. The humidifying cotton 4, as a key component in the first round of absorption, effectively absorbs and retains some of the condensate due to its porous structure. This process not only helps maintain the humidity of the respiratory gases but also reduces the potential impact of condensate on other parts of the system. However, the absorption capacity of the humidifying cotton 4 is limited; when saturated, excess condensate will flow downwards through the humidifying cotton 4. At this point, the condensate enters a container 2 containing calcium lime 5. Calcium lime 5 is a commonly used desiccant that reacts chemically with water to produce calcium hydroxide and release heat. During this process, the moisture is further decomposed and absorbed, thus effectively removing the condensate. Simultaneously, due to the hygroscopic properties of calcium lime 5, it maintains a dry environment within container 2, providing strong support for the stable operation of the respiratory system.
